I become a god in another world

Chapter 276 Allocating Manpower
Chapter 276

Zhao Fusheng did not panic when he heard Wang Hun's words, but asked him gently:
"What objects did you touch?"

This matter involved life and death, so Wang Hun did not dare to be careless and tried hard to recall:

"He touched the Yang family's gate. Maybe when he was examining the man's body, the corner of his clothes touched the stone trough?"

He was in a state of confusion and spoke incoherently: "And when I entered the room, there might have been walls, as well as straw curtains and bedding hanging in the wing rooms--" He spoke more and more, his expression becoming somewhat desperate.

Zhao Fusheng, however, looked calm, and nodded slightly in response every time he mentioned an item.

Her calmness was in stark contrast to Wang Hun's panic and helplessness.

Wang Hun, who was originally extremely panicked, seemed to be infected by her calmness when he saw her so calm.

Zhao Fusheng is now famous in Wan'an County for solving ghost cases. She has handled several ghost cases very well and rarely has her companions died.

Thinking of this, Wang Hun calmed down a little:

"There are also some items that were found while searching for bodies or accidentally. I'm not sure what they are."

"It's okay." Zhao Fusheng comforted him:
"Even if a ghost marks a person, as long as the ghost's killing rules are not violated, the person will not die immediately under normal circumstances."

She said:
"There is still time. It's okay if you can't remember it now. You can take a rest later and recall it carefully before telling Magistrate Pang. It will be the same if he records it and gives it to me."

Wang Hun nodded and asked timidly:
"My Lord, will I die——"

Zhao Fusheng originally wanted to turn around and talk to Liu Yizhen, but after hearing his question, he paused, then turned around and replied:
"I can't quite answer that."

County Magistrate Pang wanted to speak, but Zhao Fusheng said:
"I can only tell you that after I finish my questioning, I will immediately set off for Liutu Village. If everything goes well and I can find clues related to the evil spirit, I am 70% sure that I can exorcise the ghost."

Wang Hun was confused and worried. When he heard her say that, he nodded randomly.

"If, if the master hadn't exorcised the ghost——"

Magistrate Pang glanced at Zhao Fusheng with some concern, then scolded Wang Hun:

"What nonsense are you talking about."

After that, he turned to Zhao Fusheng and said:
"Sir, this killer is so frightened that he is talking nonsense and has no idea what he is saying."

Zhao Fusheng heard the hidden meaning in his words and immediately shook his head:

"Don't worry, this is a matter of life and death, I won't bother with him."

County Magistrate Pang blushed and said with some shame:
"I think too much."

Zhao Fusheng looked at Wang Hun patiently:

"No one can guarantee that exorcism is 100% certain. For all ghost cases, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."

Fan Wujiu was in a bad temper and wanted to speak, but Fan Bisi pulled his brother's sleeve.

He didn't understand what was going on and looked at his brother, but in the end he held back and didn't say anything.

"Even when we, the Demon Suppression Division, handle ghost cases, we cannot guarantee success."

The ghost case in Liutu Village is suspected to be the same as the case in Changsheng Town, both of which were caused by the same evil ghost. Unfortunately, the incident in Changsheng Town happened a long time ago, and the clues are no longer easy to trace. There are not many clues in the case of Liutu Village at present.

"We can only do our best, so I can't guarantee that I can save your life, but if I can exorcise the ghost, your chances of survival are very good."

After Zhao Fusheng finished speaking, although Wang Hun was a little disappointed, he knew there was nothing he could do. He could only nod and say nothing more.

He was completely depressed and looked listless.

Under Zhao Fusheng's gaze, he hung his head, opened his mouth slightly, and squinted his eyes like fish bubbles. After he let out a long breath, two tears actually oozed out of the corners of his eyes.

Wang Hun was actually yawning!
Zhao Fusheng originally thought that his previous depressed look was due to a ghost case, and he thought it was normal for him to repeatedly ask whether he could survive.

But at this moment he suddenly yawned in front of everyone, which made Zhao Fusheng alert.

No one else noticed Wang Hun's abnormality, but Kuai Manzhou's nostrils moved and he took two quick breaths, as if he smelled something.

Zhao Fusheng asked:

"you are tired?"

They were originally talking about the ghost case and comforting Wang Hun, but Zhao Fusheng suddenly asked this question out of the blue, which made everyone stunned.

County Magistrate Pang saw that she was staring at Wang Hun with sharp eyes, obviously asking Wang Hun a question.

"Who?" Wang Hun initially thought that Zhao Fusheng was talking to someone else, but he soon realized that the Lord Commander of the Demon Suppression Division had her eyes on him. It was obvious that she was asking him:
“I’m not, I’m not sleepy——Aha——”

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his mouth and yawned.

This time everyone could see clearly that he was indeed sleepy.

County Magistrate Pang was a little annoyed at first, but when he saw Zhao Fusheng frowning and looking serious, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Wang Hun is not a newcomer on his first day on duty.

Among all the county officials, he was considered relatively calm and composed. It was impossible for him and he dared not to lose his composure in front of so many people.

He had experienced a ghost disaster scene before, so maybe his behavior at this moment was related to the case.

Thinking of this, County Magistrate Pang felt a little uneasy.

"I am a little sleepy——"

Wang Hun yawned again and rubbed his eyes:
"Maybe I got up too early."

The muscles on his forehead pulled up, creating a "three"-shaped wrinkle, and his eyelids were rubbed red:
"I've been traveling for most of the day, so I'm a little sleepy."

Liu Yizhen and others immediately became alert.

Zhao Fusheng's heart was tense, but an expression of 'so that' appeared on his face.

"Then you can rest later. Now tell me what happened in Liutu Village and have Pang Da write it down. Make sure everything is clear and there are no omissions."

After saying that, she looked at Fan Bisi:
"Brother Fan, please ask the Xu family to prepare a set of pens and ink, and ask the Demon Suppression Division to prepare two carriages. We will need them later."

Fan Bisi nodded and went out.

Not long after, Huang Si personally led people to bring in the four treasures of the study.

County Magistrate Pang knew the situation was urgent, so he ground ink himself and followed Wang Hun's dictation, recording everything that had happened since Wang Hun entered Liutu Village.

With this buffer time, Wang Hun also remembered more objects he touched after entering the Yang family, and these were also recorded by County Magistrate Pang.

While the two were recording, the people from the Demon Suppression Division gathered around to discuss.

"Sir, I will accompany you to Liutu Village this time."

Wu Shaochun volunteered first.

After he subdued the ghost in Fengmen Village, apart from raiding the bandit's den, he has not yet confronted the ghost. Now is the time when he is eager to show his skills.

Before Zhao Fusheng could speak, Liu Yizhen said:

"I'll go."

He held the ghost coffin with his hands and said:
"I have been in the Demon Suppression Division for quite some time. In terms of seniority, I am still ahead of Shaochun."

After the Confucius Temple was destroyed, he was no longer trapped in the temple and had a certain freedom of movement. Now there was a chance to leave the county, and he wanted to go.

"What's the point of talking about seniority here——" Wu Shaochun had a lot of complaints to complain about:
"We both entered the Demon Suppression Department in the same year."

"I'm a month ahead of you." Liu Yizhen did not retreat a single step.

"Yes, he came earlier than you." Fan Wujiu also looked like he was watching the fun and adding fuel to the fire. "..." Wu Shaochun saw that Fan Wujiu was not a good person, so he turned to Zhao Fusheng:

"grown ups--"

"Why don't I go?" Meng Po, who was smiling at the side, suddenly said:
"Shaochun and Yizhen are still young, and they will have many opportunities to solve ghost cases in the future. I am old, how many days can I live? Now there is a case, why don't I go with you, sir."

"..." Liu Yizhen stared at her in amazement: "My grandfather lived to be a hundred years old."

"Haha." Meng Po pretended to be deaf and looked at Zhao Fusheng:
"I have been in the Demon Suppression Department for a few days. The master has already issued my salary, but I have not handled any cases yet. It is not the rule of my Meng family to take money for free. If my father were still alive, he would definitely scold me."

Meng Po was not young anymore, and at this moment she brought out her deceased father.

At this point, Liu Yi really didn't dare to say anything and could only look regretful.

Fan Wujiu heard everyone vying to go and couldn't help but feel anxious:
"I also want to go with you, Master..."

"..."Fan Bi Si looked dazed.

He still remembered that when Zhao Qiming first took control of the Demon Suppression Bureau, he also cared for his subordinates and wanted to properly deal with the ghost case problem in Wan'an County.

But after the ghost case broke out, everyone avoided it as much as possible.

Initially, Zhao Qiming assigned his emissaries by drawing lots, but after only two ghost cases, almost all of the emissaries of the Demon Suppression Division were replaced.

After experiencing the case, Zhao Qiming was on the verge of resurrection of the evil spirit. He became cold and violent, and even looked at people with a sinister malice in his eyes.

At that time, everyone in the Demon Suppression Division was so terrified at the mention of ghosts.

When they heard about the ghost case, everyone tried their best to shirk responsibility, fearing that being involved in the case would mean death.

This situation is not an isolated case. It is almost the same in all the demon-suppressing offices of the Han Dynasty.

When Zhao Fusheng took control of Wan'an County, at the beginning, except for herself, the envoys at that time were also afraid of ghosts.

During the initial Goutou Village case, Zhang Chuanshi's expression when he went out was as if he was going to a grave. Everyone was mentally prepared that he might die in Goutou Village - Zhang Chuanshi even arranged his funeral arrangements before leaving and prepared funeral clothes for himself.

But he was not dead.

After that, Zhao Fusheng handled several more ghost cases. When she specifically asked for people to go with her, the people in the Demon Suppression Bureau were no longer resistant as they had been at the beginning. Even now, some people were actively vying to go with her.

The contrast between the past and the present was so great that Fan Bisi felt as if he and Zhao Qiming had been in the Wan'an County Demon Suppression Bureau together in his previous life. However, the fact was that it had been less than a year since Zhao Qiming's death.

His younger brother has also changed a lot.

From being afraid of and hiding from ghosts in the beginning, he now even dares to take the initiative to handle ghost cases.

While Fan Bisi was hesitating for a while, Fan Wujiu pulled him back:
"Brother, what are you daydreaming about?"

Fan Bisi came back to his senses and suddenly laughed:
"Then let's go too."

For some reason, he suddenly felt that after he finished speaking, he felt much more relaxed, as if he had unloaded the burden he had been carrying, and his expression revealed a bit of the sharpness of a young man:

"Like Yizhen said, if we go by seniority, Wujiu and I were the first to follow the adults."

"Yes, yes, yes." Fan Wujiu was happy when he heard this and nodded in agreement.

While County Magistrate Pang was recording Wang Hun's words, he was also paying attention to the discussion in the Demon Suppression Division. Hearing this, he couldn't help but smile.

He also sensed the changes that Fan Bisi could sense.

The Wan'an County Demon Suppression Bureau is scrambling to handle the ghost case, proving that Wan'an County is no longer what it used to be. Everyone is not only confident in their own strength, but also in Zhao Fusheng.

The pen in his hand suddenly became much lighter, he wrote faster, and his eyes became calm.

……

Zhao Fusheng couldn't help feeling a headache when he saw everyone rushing to Liutu Village.

Her eyes fell on Wu Shaochun, who looked at her eagerly. Seeing this, Liu Yizhen couldn't help but cough lightly.

"Why don't we all go together?" Fan Wujiu was impatient and spoke first.

"That won't work."

Zhao Fusheng shook his head:
"We have to leave someone behind to guard the city, to prevent us from going out together and having our house taken over by others."

She quickly exchanged looks with Liu Yizhen and Meng Po.

The ghost case in Liutu Village was strange.

The last time this headless corpse killed an entire family was nearly a year ago. Now it appeared again after such a long time, and not far from Wan'an County. Before that, the paper man Zhang Shen led the ghost troupe back to the city without anyone noticing, which forced Zhao Fusheng to be on high alert.

"Shaochun will stay in Liutu Village this time."

Wu Shaochun showed disappointment on his face, but he knew Zhao Fusheng's character and was not in a hurry to argue at this time.

"Meng Po will also stay in the county, Man Zhou, Yi Zhen, Fan Da and Second Brother will come with me."

The people she named showed satisfied expressions, while Wu Shaochun, who was left behind in the county, could not hide his disappointment.

Meng Po has a good attitude.

When Zhao Fusheng mentioned that someone was needed to stay in the city, she guessed that Zhao Fusheng would definitely leave someone in the city.

She was not a ghost rider, but she could sense that among the group of envoys from the Demon Suppression Bureau, only she and Kuai Manzhou should be qualified to stay in the city for the time being.

But although Kuai Manzhou is very strong, he is still young after all. Once something unexpected happens, I am afraid that the child will not be able to cope with it, and there will be chaos.

——Of course, Kuai Manzhou was very close to Zhao Fusheng, and it was impossible for the child to agree to stay in the city.

So she is the only one left.

"Then I will go with you next time."

Meng Po laughed.

Zhao Fusheng nodded:
"There will be a chance in the future."

After she finished speaking, Zhang Chuanshi, who had been staying outside, finally came in.

He was surrounded by people and being flattered before. When Wang Hun arrived, he was flattered and didn't notice it at all. Later, he found that the people from the Demon Suppression Division were missing.

After asking the Xu family, I learned that something had happened in the government office and the people from the Demon Suppression Division were in the inner courtyard rooms.

Zhang Chuanshi was afraid that there would be no work, so he deliberately lingered outside for a while before coming in, just in time to catch Zhao Fusheng assigning people.

"And me—"

Zhang Chuanshi rolled his eyes and shouted in a pretentious manner: "My lord, I'm afraid you have forgotten me, Old Zhang."

"I did forget."

The corner of Zhao Fusheng's mouth twitched.

Zhang Chuanshi not only did not feel ashamed after hearing this, but he felt secretly happy instead.

"..."

Zhao Fusheng was speechless when he saw his smug look.

She was busy with official business at the moment and didn't bother to argue with the old man. Seeing that County Magistrate Pang had finished recording, she stood up and said:
"Old Zhang will also stay in the county. We will set off immediately to Liutu Village."

Liu Yizhen and Erfan stood up at the same time and responded loudly:
"Yes!"

Kuai Manzhou's body floated lightly into the air, with excitement in his eyes.

County Magistrate Pang stood up a little nervously, put down his pen, picked up the paper he had written on, blew the ink dry, folded it up and held it in his hand.
